The relative humidity is expected to be high at night and on Thursday morning, reaching up to 80 per cent. Fog and mist formation is also expected during those hours in western areas such as parts of Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain.
Winds are expected to repeatedly blow, at a speed of 15 –25 km/h, reaching up to 40 km/h at times.
The winds are expected to blow dust and sand into the air, especially during the day, getting stronger with the cloud activity and reducing horizontal visibility.
